It is interesting that objectors to Christian teachings almost always require a burden of proof far above other religions or philosophies. Christianity also seems to be easily dismissed in spite of what we don't really yet know about reality. After all, many things we take for granted today would have been considered supernatural not so long ago.

Can't we apply Hume's criteria to the Big Bang theory And the origin of life according to naturalistic evolution?

Hi Mike, as a historian do you accept any other miracle events in history other than the resurrection of Jesus?

Yea, those claims by Muslims claim that Mohammed split the moon and rode to heaven on a winged horse are just silly.
But talking snakes, talking donkeys, changing water into wine, and walking on water; well that makes perfect sense!
